What is Learning Objects’ Journal/BLOG tool?

The Journal/BLOG tool can be added to your Blackboard course sites. Using Journals/BLOGs in your classroom enables you to provide you and your students with interactive, collaborative, multimedia rich, writing, journaling and reflective experiences that can be private or open to all in the class.

To have access to the BLOG tool for Blackboard, users must receive certification training from Duquesne's Learning Technology Center Staff. See the Certification Training link below.
